This cute little turkey was created in My Digital Studio using several digital punches. Even the wattle (that red dangly thing) is made with a punch - it's the wing from the Extra Large Two Step Bird Punch.

Stampin' Up! set a goal to have 5,000 new friends visit their site and receive free downloads during their Digital Scrapbooking Day Event, and they exceeded that goal! Woo hoo! They are psyched, and wanted to share their excitement with you — in the form of one more free download!

I created this 8" x 8" digital scrapbook page with the help of the template included in the Neutral Delightful Digital Tape MDS download (see full contents below).

With a few simple clicks, I customized my page and ended up with a cute memory to last a lifetime.

All I did was replace the text & insert a photo of my cute brown eyed boy. I'm very happy with the way this turned out - especially considering I was able to complete it in less than 5 minutes! My Digital Studio is perfect for us busy bee's.

Add to your Delightful Digital Tape collection with five new colors in our 25-piece neutral version. With five styles and five colors, "keep it together" with these edgy tape embellishments. Also included is a one-page 8" x 8" designer template. The download installs into the Delightful Digital Tape folder so you can access all your tape in one easy location. Coordinating colors include Basic Gray, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Whisper White, and transparent.

Celebrate the bright, everyday moments of life with our digital-exclusive Delight in the Day Photobook Template. This download comes packed with a ready-made photobook and additional pieces for extra photobook pages or other projects. It includes a 24-page 11" x 8-1/2" photobook designer template, a 15-piece stamp brush set, 12 Designer Series Paper patterns, and 33 embellishments. Coordinating colors include Basic Gray, Calypso Coral, Peach Parfait, Pool Party, and Very Vanilla.

This download comes complete with solutions for holiday parties (an invite and labels for tags and treats), decorating (frameable artwork), gift tags, and Christmas cards. Even better, all the elements come available as stamp brushes and embellishments so you can create additional coordinating projects.

My son, Devlin turned 8 years old yesterday, making it his golden birthday (8 on Nov. 8)

We had a fun party for his friends last Sunday at the YMCA - the kids went swimming, jumped in a bouncy house, and partied in the party room. A good time was had by all. Especially by my Angry Birds fan.

I CASE'd the card by fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Maria Cameron. My bird is slightly off scale (LOL)... but I kind of like how HUGE he is, it gives him character and he's sure to get some pigs at that size!

For my card, I used Stampin' Up!'s Recordable Stampin' Sound Cards. I found a clip of "The Bird is the Word" sung by Peter on the Family Guy and recorded 10 seconds of the audio onto my card. Devlin LOVED it and pressed the play button for most of the afternoon. The option to record was a great way to personalize my card.

I punched a hole in my Garden Green polka dotted DSP and popped up the Wish Big sentiment on Stampin' Dimensionals. This way the audio comes through loud & clear. The holes are beneath the round orange circle, with a bit of a gap provided by the Dimensionals. I also covered my record button to prevent the temptation to record over the current audio.

What do you think? How could YOU use a Recordable Stampin' Sound Card?

This month, we're featuring Winter, Christmas, and Hanukkah inspired cards & projects! Enjoy the hop and the amazing creations that the Pals have come up with.

You've likely hopped over from seeing great work by Angie Blake (Angie's Musings). I'm stop #19 on the Pals Hop and I'm glad you hopped in!

I'll help you "hop along" from blog to blog where you'll find great ideas for Winter, Christmas, and Hanukkah paper projects from the Stampin' Pretty Pals! Should you hop off course, simply click on any of the links in the Pals Hop Line-up at the end of this post and you'll be back on track!

For my contribution to the hop, I created a Christmas Countdown planner using My Digital Studio. I found this fantastic website called Organized Christmas, where I found some downloadable (and printable) pocket planner forms. Please note: December's calendar has two 29's on it, but I can easily overlook that. :)

Using the planner forms, I created jpeg images and uploaded them into My Digital Studio to create an 8 1/2" x 11" landscape planner. I've always signed my Christmas cards from Kris Kringle during the holidays, so my planner gets the same treatment.

My cover page was created using the Letters to Santa Embellishments Kit, Item #125835, $3.95. Add to Shopping Bag

The last page of my planner uses one of the designer papers the Write Stuff II Digital Kit, Item #120881, $9.95. Add to Shopping Bag

It also uses an image from the Merry & Type brush set, item #123139, $3.95. Add to Shopping Bag
